On the one hand my insurers were very efficient, the car is now fully repaired. On the otherhand they were complete idiots. First they immediately put my renewal premium up pending clarification of fault (?). Then they asked me on two occasions whether anyone else was involved. I had told them everything relevant from McDonalds in Congleton 10 minutes after the incudent. Idiots.
